Hiyer Meek; howya been???

Appears Jim is on a roll. Pardon my French, but we are SO screwed. To this day I'm unable to figger out how McCain was able to pull it off. He was biding his time, waiting in the weeds when something happened. What was it???

“McCain was able to pull it off. He was biding his time, waiting in the weeds when something happened. What was it??? “

The media for one of course. Then W. Virginia, where McCain didn’t win the primary (came in 3rd), so McCain gave his delegates to Huck which basically threw Romney out of the race.

“On the first ballot Tuesday morning, Romney was the leading vote getter, with 40.9 percent of the vote. Huckabee was second, with 33.1 percent. McCain had 15.5 percent, and longtime Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 10.4 percent.

Under the convention rules, the candidate with the fewest votes was knocked off the ballot, so that eliminated Paul.

Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, McCain’s representative at the event, then conceded defeat and asked McCain boosters to support Huckabee on the second ballot in order to block Romney.”

McCain was the least likely... Something had to happen behind the scenes because we are screwed. He's not beloved, knows nothing about the economy, shamnesty, bad bills with dems and so much more that he's NOT got going for him.

1. socialist 2. marxist 3. leninist running for POTUS.

Well, it appears that the 'RATS did to the GOP what Rush and OPERATION CHAOS is doing to obama??? I think maybe the media and the 'RATS picked McRINO. I know that I didn't vote for him!
